What is CPA Advertising?

Cost-Per-Action Advertising (also called Performance-Based Advertising) allows advertisers to pay a pre-determined amount each time a potential customer completes a specific action that the advertiser has requested. Whether that action is clicking on an ad, submitting an email address, filling out a form, downloading a program, or purchasing a product, the advertiser is able to decide what action they want generated and how much they will pay each time that action is generated.

Traditional Advertising - The advertiser pays to have their marketing message broadcasted to an audience. The cost is typically based on the number of consumers it reached. This model is most commonly seen in TV, Radio, and Print advertising channels. You create an ad, pay to have it put in a place where you anticipate a large number of potential customers will see it and then you hope that some of them become customers. The ad costs you the same amount whether you generate thousands of new customers, one new customer, or no new customers. The monetary risk lies entirely with the advertiser.

CPA Advertising - The advertiser pays to drive a specific action from potential customers. This could be as simple as clicking on a banner ad (arguably the most basic form of CPA Advertising) or as complex as completing a registration form, registering for a membership, or purchasing a product. From the advertiser's standpoint, CPA Advertising represents a huge evolutionary leap from traditional marketing. Advertising budgets can now be tied directly to results - and revenue.
